Email deliverability

Your emails are hitting spam.
I’ll find out why and fix it.

Email infrastructure audits for SaaS companies. I dig into your DNS, authentication, and sending setup at the protocol level. $750, delivered in 5 business days.

Taking a limited number of early clients. Leave your email and I’ll reach out when there’s a spot.

No spam. Just a heads-up when a spot opens.

The problem

You’ve already tried the free tools.

You’ve checked MXToolbox. You’ve run Mail-Tester. Your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records look fine — or at least whatever “fine” means when your open rates are still cratering and your customers’ password resets are landing in junk.

Those tools are good at telling you something is wrong. They’re bad at telling you why. And they’re useless when the real problem is that your marketing emails, transactional emails, and onboarding sequences are all fighting each other for the same domain reputation.

You’ve probably spent a couple of weeks on this already. Google isn’t going to get you out of it.

Approach

I’m a developer who does deliverability.

The last deliverability consultant you talked to probably couldn’t read an SMTP log. I can, and that’s usually where the answer is. Things like your SPF record breaking at the 10-lookup limit because four different services are all sending from the same domain. When your onboarding emails are landing in spam, the problem is usually in the infrastructure, and that’s where I spend my time.

Almost a decade building and maintaining systems that send email at scale. CS degree. I started inboxlanded because I kept running into the same pattern: SaaS companies with real products, stuck because nobody on the team knows why their email infrastructure is broken.

The Offer

Email Infrastructure Audit — $750

Delivered in 5 business days. No retainer. No recurring fee. Just answers and a fix list.

What you get:

Full authentication review

Whether your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are actually aligned and enforced correctly across every sending service you use. Not a pass/fail check. An actual accounting of what’s talking to what.

Sending infrastructure analysis

How your transactional, marketing, and product emails interact. Where they’re stepping on each other. What needs to be separated and how.

Reputation diagnosis

Google Postmaster, Microsoft SNDS, blacklist status, and what the data actually means for your specific sending patterns and volume.

Prioritized fix list

Specific DNS records to change, configuration settings to update, and architectural decisions to make. In order of impact. Concrete enough for you or your engineer to implement without a follow-up call.

30-minute walkthrough

After you’ve read the report, we get on a call to go through anything that’s unclear and talk about implementation order.

Don’t have an engineer to hand the fix list to? I also do implementation work. We can talk about it once you’ve seen the report.

Process

How it works

  1. 01

    Share access

    You send me read-only access to your DNS provider, ESP dashboard, and any error logs or bounce reports you have. About 10 minutes of your time.

  2. 02

    I dig in

    Over 3–5 days I go through your sending infrastructure, authentication setup, reputation data, and bounce patterns. I’m reading logs and tracing mail flow, not running automated scans.

  3. 03

    You get the report

    A written document covering what’s wrong and how to fix it. Specific enough to hand directly to an engineer. Plus the 30-minute call to walk through questions.

Fit

Built for SaaS companies.

Specifically, SaaS companies sending 10K–500K emails a month that are dealing with some version of these problems: password resets and billing emails hitting spam. Onboarding sequences that aren’t reaching new signups. Marketing emails dragging down your transactional reputation because everything’s on the same domain. An ESP migration that quietly broke things. Or the Google/Yahoo/Microsoft bulk sender requirements, and you’re not actually sure you’re compliant.

If you’re running cold outbound and need help with inbox warmup and domain rotation, that’s a different problem. I can point you in the right direction, but this audit is for product and transactional email infrastructure.

Stakes

This gets worse on its own.

Email reputation compounds in the wrong direction. Emails hit spam, so fewer people open them. Fewer opens tell mailbox providers to push more of your emails to spam. Your domain reputation drops further. Next batch does worse than the last.

SaaS companies get hit especially hard because the damage crosses boundaries. Marketing spam complaints poison your transactional delivery. A customer’s inbox full of your promotional emails in spam means their password reset goes there too. Once Google or Microsoft decides your domain is a problem, digging out takes weeks. Sometimes months.

Ongoing

Ongoing monitoring if you want it.

Most deliverability problems come back if nobody’s watching. After the audit, I offer a monthly retainer: automated weekly checks on authentication, blacklist status, and reputation scores, plus a monthly review call. Starts at $300/month. We can talk about it after the audit if it makes sense.

FAQ

Common questions

Full authentication review (SPF, DKIM, DMARC across every sending service), sending infrastructure analysis, reputation diagnosis via Google Postmaster and Microsoft SNDS, and a prioritized fix list specific enough for you or your engineer to implement without a follow-up call. Plus a 30-minute walkthrough call after you've read the report.
Those tools check whether records exist and have valid syntax. They don't check whether records are actually aligned and enforced across every service sending on your behalf. They also can't tell you that your marketing emails, transactional emails, and onboarding sequences are fighting each other for the same domain reputation.
Automated weekly checks on authentication, blacklist status, and reputation scores, plus a monthly review call. Most deliverability problems come back if nobody's watching. This is the smoke detector, not the fire crew.
Yes. The underlying deliverability mechanics are the same regardless of whether you're sending through Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Postmark, SendGrid, Resend, or your own SMTP. Infrastructure and configuration are the variables.
Me. I'm a developer with nine years of experience building and maintaining systems that send email at scale. CS degree. I read SMTP logs and trace authentication chains. This isn't a white-label agency operation.
I also do implementation work. We can talk about it once you've seen the audit report. Most technical fixes take a few hours.
